This is underpinned by the nation’s strongest state economy and its economic future is now fortified by the $1.4 billion City Deal signed by three levels of government. Tasmania’s economy gathered strength throughout 2019 and is now ranked the No.1 state for economic performance, according to CommSec’s State of the State report. Significant projects in the pipeline include an international airport to encourage direct flights for tourists,an Antarctic and Science Precinct at Macquarie Point, and a light rail network. The steady rise of the state economy in recent years has had a major impact on the Hobart property market. Homes sell faster in Hobart than anywhere else, price growth leads capital city Australia, and vacancies are the tightest of the capital cities, having been below 2% for seven years (and remain so, despite the impact of the pandemic). Hobart presents an attractive package to investors, with affordable prices compared to the big cities, as well as attractive rental yields and low vacancy rates.

  • Regional Context 8 Regional Context
    7 REGIONAL CONTEXT 8 REGIONAL CONTEXT To understand the function of the Huon Valley municipal area at a regional level, it is important to understand the evolution of land use, particularly in an urban sense. Since European settlement, cities in proximity to the coast have dominated the settlement patterns across Australia. As Australia was colonised post industrial-revolution, rural development spread out from the cities as support for the urban population. As Australian cities have grown, agriculture has been pushed outwards, with increasing suburban areas surrounding urban centres utilising rural land in order to meet the housing needs of the population. This pattern of urbanisation is evident with the evolution of Hobart and surrounding districts. As the fi rst European township within Tasmania, Hobart developed as the major urban centre of Tasmania and later Southern Tasmania. With population growth over the past 100 years and associated development many surrounding rural areas have been urbanised, with the rural resources required to fuel this growth being sourced from more remote localities.It is in this context that the Huon Valley played an important role in supplying timber and agricultural produce to the growing population of Hobart. Today, the State of Tasmania can be divided into three distinct regions: Southern, Northern & North-Western. Each of these regions has their urban centre, although given the size of Tasmanian there is inter-reliance between these regions. Huon Valley & the Southern Tasmanian Region The Huon Valley municipal area along with the Kingborough municipal area wholly comprises the southern region of the Greater Hobart area. The municipal area of Hobart forms not only the geographical but economic centre for Greater Hobart.
